[QUOTE="fordy, post: 2734521, member: 120504"] Gday bfd That old hornady RN has taken a many critter ( I’ve still got a soft spot for this design ) & guess it’s a one off 😜 Well for that porka it was 🤣 You’ve started to scratch the surface with the speed kills & from the outside looking in that’s correct as a pill regardless of brand on the whole will kill better with more speed ( velocity window needs to be found with ea pill to make the decision clearer on limits of speed ) & that pill definitely kills better @ a higher impact but I’m assuming you can’t push it any faster so a option is to go a lighter pill & then that’s flaunt with danger in this case ( don’t know if hornady makes or did make a smaller RN ) or switch to a different type that is more suited to the impact created from this taken path Then we have the next stage what’s the velocity window of that pill & it keeps going on till we can get a pill that handles a broader spectrum of the impacts / resistances we WILL eventually encounter in the field if not by that person I guarantee it will be someone Now a one off I get but when it’s replicated I say yes to that person it may be but to the general population it’s no longer a one of it’s that possibility of happening that is reality & that exactly what ever brand does Me personally I went to the light mushroom mono way & found out in all reality I was a little worse than the old RN ( my impacts were on average 250 greater but the mushroom monos on average need 2400 to work well not this crap !!! I hear oh but they work down to x velocity ) I really wish I had of had hammers back then as there window is the greatest on the market hands down & for those that doubt this to be the case I’ll openly have a discussion to show both sides of the fence & I’ll state in advance if your in the 1200 to 1800 impact block a frangible wins this race pretty easy For the majority of people going off the pole on here some time ago most game I’d assume are in the 2100 to 2750 blocks So most pills will work well here but some are dropping off & other brands are more applicable to use than others Now the kills gets iffy above this especially the 3 k plus mark & resistances also come into play in all blocks , its finding these better pills for the blocks we will be impacting in that gives us a more consistent outcome Now get out & smack a porka bfd on that angle with a 140 sh & show us what the magic looks like then the 178SH or visa versa so we can find the line in the sand moments that will help us all in determining the better pill Yeah it’s that easy right 🤣 It’s why I love this idea here as if enough do it . you watch how what we learn grows really quickly Just need good data people get that together & I can retire from this bullet testing as I will be soon anyway so I’d love to do it earlier than planned Looking forward to delving a little deeper Cheers [/QUOTE]
